Yup. Works great.  I've updated:
  svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zopetoolkit/branches/jim-kgs/kgs

to use it.

I created ztk.cfg that looks like:

  [ztk]
  libraries =
    ...
  under-review =
    ...
  projects = ${ztk:libraries} ${ztk:under-review}

  [buildout]
  versions = versions
  allow-picked-versions = false

  [versions]
  ...

and a buildout.cfg:

  [buildout]
  parts = test-ztk
  extends = ztk.cfg

  [test-ztk]
  recipe = z3c.recipe.compattest
  include = ${ztk:projects}

This gives me the test files I expect that use the specified versions.

One minor quibble is that the recipe uses the part name as a test file
prefix for the individual tests (e.g. test-ztk-zope.proxy). But the
combined test runner has "test-" in front of the part name, so I get
"test-test-ztk".  I'd like to use the part name for the combined test
name, "test-ztk".

Thanks. Thanks too to Fabio for helping to move this forward!

So, I think we now have a tool that will let us take the next steps.
Can we all agree on this?

Jim
